I have 1 IDE HD, 1 new SATA HD (unformatted), and 1 CD/DVD drive in my computer. The IDE is set to master & the disk drive set to slave. When I boot up, the BIOS recognizes the SATA drive, setting it to master. When I log on, however, the SATA is not visible or accessible in any way. I am thinking the configuration is ok because 1 drive is IDE & 1 is SATA. Any ideas on what's wrong?
Thanks
